Inclusion criteria

• At least 12 years of age.
• Be post-lingually deafened cochlear implant recipients with at least 6 months experience regardless of manufacturer.
• The PI must also deem the child to be developmentally able to complete the experiments.

Exclusion criteria

• Anyone who is not a cochlear implant user or is aged under 12 years.
